I think most of us know that water molecules are lighter than nitrogen and oxygen molecules. That's why humid air (a parcel of air in which water molecules have displaced some nitrogen and oxygen molecules) rises through surrounding drier air of the same temperature. This is true regardless of altitude.

In addition to this, as humid air rises, its pressure does work by expanding the volume of air. This work comes at the expense of the temperature of the air parcel. As temperature is reduced to the dew point, an amazing thing happens! Water begins to condense and release its latent heat of fusion. Cloud suck! The air parcel maintains its temperature as it rises, compared to the cooler drier air, accelerating upward and leaving falling water drops in its wake.

Once again, a beautiful theory is destroyed by and ugly fact:The boiling temperature of H2O is too high to exist as gas in our atmosphere. Therefore moist air is alway heavier than dry air. Convection is refuted.

WTF? This is simply the latent heat of phase change. Freezing / melting and vaporizing / condensing energy per unit mass are well quantified properties of water and many other substances.

This stuff is taught in junior high school.

Nobody ever detected this? Then what are all of these measured values of this property?

Are you the kind of person that suspects an underlying complexity to our reality that nobody quite understands so everybody just pretends to understand and tacitly agrees to not call attention to each others pretenses? Are you the kind of person that suspects that different academic factions have colluded to sow confusion so that their collective failure to understand this underlying complexity of our reality is not revealed to the public? Are you the kind of person that believes the public can so easily be led astray by pretentious, sciencey sounding rhetoric that diverts attention away from the wider revelation of this poorly understood underlying complexity of our reality? Me neither. So I was just as perplexed as anybody would be when I first encountered the the zeroing out of polarity with with fully coordinated (symmetric) hydrogen bonding between H2O molecules (as in liquid water).

I am a weird bunch of guys. I am the kind of person who sees explanations as utilitarian features of schematics which are the intrinsic method we use to understand. I am the kind of guy who sees schematics as based on observation but limited to the definitions we make as we go along. I am the kind of guy who sees definitions as inherently fuzzy in the real world. I am the kind of guy who assumes that the use of identity in logic is only ever approximated with identities in the real world and so I am the kind of guy who assumes that models are purely utilitarian things and that there is no 'right' model, only 'better' or 'worse' models for specific purposes. And I am also the kind of guy who would like to know what physical experiments you carried out to determine that the polarity of water zeroes out with fully coordinated (symmetric) hydrogen bonding between H2O molecules.

LOL.

You are under the impression that since the boiling temperature of water is 100 °C, that if the air temperature is say 20 °C that no vapour could exist? You are completely wrong. The molecules in and on the surface of the liquid in equilibrium with air temperature have on average the kinetic energy equivalent to the 20 °C scale, but individual molecules near the surface are not bound by liquid on one side, and can and do break free as vapour all the time. Did you never study statistical distributions in whatever you thought was "science"? The molecules leaving the fluid and entering the air as vapour will do so until equilibrium is reached with the equilibrium vapour pressure in the air.

Your three sentences after your colon are false, and non-sequiturs to boot.

Is is idiotic to directly measure latent heat of fusion using DSC?

And where does rain come from?

You would like Pollack's book too.

It's fairly hilarious that this individual has the temerity to call other people 'idiots' and 'fuckwits' but can't muster the intellectual ability to properly use the quote function, something my 7-year old was able to master within 2 minutes. How many ways can it be fucked up? We may be on the brink of finding out.
